Stadium

The Jacksonville Armada FC officially announced on Feb. 6, 2017, that it will rent Hodges Stadium, an IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) certified, Class II facility, at the University of North Florida (UNF) to host all their home games moving forward.

Members of the UNF Athletics Department have not been the only ones to use Hodges Stadium. Professional teams including the Philadelphia Eagles and the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team have used it as a practice facility. The NCAA Outdoor Track & Field East Preliminary was also hosted at the stadium in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

The facility was initially built in 2004 and was then named after George and Kernan Hodges after they gifted UNF $2 million in 2006. Final stages of construction were completed in 2008 to include field lighting, installation of seating, and a finished press box. Today Hodges Stadium has a capacity of 9,400.
